For over a year I've spent about a billion tokens a month on code

For over a year I've spent about a billion tokens a month on code.
(Most of them cached, yes.) I'm a product person, not a developer.

Vibe coding isn't bad. But it matters who's doing it.

A developer tells the AI: "Create a class that handles payments."
A non-technical person says: "Build the whole thing. Make it work."

Both get something that runs. Only one of them knows what's inside.

If you're not technical, vibe coding is fine for an idea, a prototype, an MVP. You can quickly get feedback on whether it's worth working on the idea. Just don't expect an enterprise-level system. It will probably have security holes. You may not even know what language it's written in, or that the AI set you up with Supabase, Neon, Vercel, and shadcn, because that's what most agents pick by default (fine for an MVP).

I'm somewhere in between. I don't write the code, but I design the systems myself: the architecture, the database, how the parts connect. AI writes the code. I make the decisions.

In the next posts, I'll share the projects I've built, and why I deleted my Cursor account and moved to Claude Code.

Have you ever checked what stack your AI agent picked for you?
